USC is the lone early offer for DB Desmond Cain (5-11 183) of Delray Beach, FL and that has put the Gamecocks at this top of his list at this point. "I was there for their (Black Magic) camp and I fell in love with everything," Cain said. "I like the coaches and how they helped me with the little things to become a better player. And I love the facilities." That was the only camp for Cain last summer. He is also getting interest from Miami, Auburn, Minnesota, Penn State and Michigan and feels Miami will be the next to offer. "They are showing a lot of interest," he said. This weekend Cain will be in Orlando to watch USC take on Central Florida. He's not planning to make a final decision until the beginning of his senior season but right now USC is the team to beat. "USC leads," he said. "Me and coach (Grady) Brown have a real good chemistry." Cain plays safety and corner and is being recruited as a corner. He didn't play much defensive as a sophomore working mostly at receiver. He is playing full time both ways this season.
